This year Jerry McWorter will celebrate his 20th year building cues, yet he’s still know as one of the “new” kids on the block. Jerry is known for his great designs and flawless execution his fine silver work is one of his trademarks. If you have seen Jerry’s cues then you know that his cues are in a style all his own and can be recognized from across the room.

Jerry lives and makes cues in Ventura CA with his wife Jan who played on the WPBA for many years, and his son. Besides cues and his family music plays a big roll in his family, Jerry is the drummer in a band called Dynamo Jump, you can see many of Jerry’s cues as well as buy his CD on his website

I want to thank Jerry in advance for taking the time to answer our questions, I’ll remind everyone that this thread will remain open for a few days of questions and then Jerry will answer (the ones he knows the answers to) and then the thread will be closed, so please ask as many questions as you want and let anyone who you might feel would like to ask a question know ASAP because it won’t be open long. As you know I get to ask the first few questions, so I’ll kick it off.

1) In your cues I can see a huge Thomas Wayne influence, can you please tell us what roll Thomas has played in your evolution as a cuemaker, also tell us a little about how you feel about Thomas’s influence on the cuemaking industry.

2) Your Bluebook bio says you made your first cue as a high school project, do you know where that cue is today? Is it still straight and playable? Do you have a picture of it?

3) My favorite McWorter cue is the one you made for the Greco Roman collection, how hard did you find it to do a 1 of a kind design and do you see more theme type cues in your future?

Jim <-----Big fan of Jerry’s work, and will give others a shot now.

1) Who would you describe as your biggest influence in design AND playability?

2) Many people argue that cue design theft is so hard to avoid as most everything has been done by someone else already. I think you prove all of those people wrong as you constantly find new and creative ways to introduce unique designs. That being said, have there ever been any times where you thought to yourself "Jeez! I go to all these efforts to do something new, and this guy just went and copied it!"

3) I know you probably won't answer this, but I have to ask anyway... are there any cuemakers out there that you have no respect for?

4) Can I have the amboyna collection... for free? (just kidding - but if 'yes', PM me for shipping info )

and finally, on a NON-pool related note...

5) Could you name the top 5 drummers (your opinion) of the last 25 years?
